RE: Table / Role / Profile Relations

Sounds good. I think I found your post to an earlier similar question

http://cakephp.1045679.n5.nabble.com/model-for-different-role-users-td132610
6.html

How do you set up the "foreign_key" for example
Seller has id: 5 user_id: 15 so User model would be seller but foreign_key?
Id => 15?

Thanks

Dave

You could use separate models: Administrator, Buyer, and Seller. Plus
have a User model to handle logins. So users has columns:
email
password
model
foreign_key

In your login() do a switch on $this->Auth->user('model') to decide
where to redirect to.
